SpongeBob SquarePants faces off against Globs of Doom
For a guy who lives in a pineapple under the sea, SpongeBob SquarePants is pretty ubiquitous on land, as well.
He’s out in the recently released video game, “SpongeBob SquarePants featuring Nicktoons: Globs of Doom.”
“Globs of Doom” is available for the PlayStation 2, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS and is rated E for everyone.
In “Globs,” SpongeBob teams up with other Nicktoons characters in a button-mashing romp that also features Tak, Invader Zim, Danny Phantom and Jimmy Neutron.
SpongeBob was created by former marine science teacher Stephen Hillenburg, who was born on Fort Sill.
What’s made this goofy character so beloved? Hillenburg told The Oklahoman’s Gene Triplett in 2004 that SpongeBob’s naivety is a strong part of his appeal.
SpongeBob — who Hillenburg is aware doesn’t actually look like a sea sponge — has appealed to kids since his debut in 1999.
In addition to “Globs,” SpongeBob heads up a line of Nickelodeon tech gifts and toys for this holiday season. “SpongeBob SquarePants” Eyeball Speakers, for example, come with removable eyeballs that move along with the music.
Kids can also get a SpongeBob-themed MP3 player.
